Data is as follows:
A1 099
A2 99
A3 099
A4 99

The cells are all formatted as TEXT

In A5 is a formula =COUNTIF(A1:A4, A1)
The result incorrectly calculates to 4 not 2 which is what I would
rather see.
Has anybody experienced this anomoly and how do I force COUNTIF to
evaluate the "literal text cell values" rather than a "numeric
conversion of the cell values" which appears to be happening?
